Title You Again

Director Andy Fickman

Year 2010

Run time 1hr 45m

Genres Comedy, Romance

Tagline What doesn't kill you... is going to marry your brother

You Again, the nonstop laugh fest, is pure fun that features an all-star cast with comedy pedigrees - including Kristen Bell, Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis and the always outrageous Betty White. For Marni (Bell), high school was a horror movie, and her brother's wedding is the sequel when her archrival comes back to haunt her as his bride. It's nice girl versus mean girl in this hysterical reunion with the one person Marni would really like to forget. And if that weren't enough, Marni's mom (Curtis) reunites with her own high school nemesis (Weaver).

Conflicted! I know what it is to be bullied, but oof, ruining a wedding is harsh.

“I don’t pretend to have the slightest clue how things work in the girl world…”

I don’t care how much you liked someone in high school… thirty or so years later? Not straight away like that.

Thoughts

We were in the mood for something a bit more lighthearted than the last effort and stumbled across this gem, that I had never heard of despite the sizeable cast of acting royalty.

It was really good! In the category of rom-com, although the rom is mostly happening to our protagonist’s brother, it tugged at a lot of feelings for me. I did not enjoy school either, kids are mean, so it was interesting to see what it might be like to be confronted with someone from your past like that.

It was good, it was funny, the cast were great, the little brother had most of the best lines, and Charlie was adorable. Top notch film which was exactly what we were looking for.
